Typical Steps in the Project Life Cycle
Project lay-out: Direction GTMS is guiding the project
Audit: What is your current situation (Aids in establishing benchmarks)
Routing / Mode evaluations: Analysis of routing guide and complete mode evaluation of current position on transportation
Modeling supply chain: This is done when we do a complete Supply Chain Evaluation
Involvement: How much time do you want to spend with GTMS throughout the project
Minimal disruption to the operations, very little time involvement
Review and establish benchmarks
Both parties must agree on the benchmark before the project can move forward (starting point)
Move forward plan: Step by step layout of next action items to accomplish in project
Complete plan of action on how to move forward to execution
Updates: Continual updates on the status of the project to the appointed contact personnel
Progress on the overall project
Final results: What efficiencies were created and what savings will you realize
Implementation of project findings
Continual evaluation and analysis throughout the Project Life Cycle to optimize cost savings
